What Ramaphosa, Zuma and Mbeki said about ending load-shedding.

President Cyril Ramaphosa’s promise to end Eskom’s load-shedding has been thrust into the spotlight and is drawing mixed reactions online. 

In his weekly newsletter the president said the rolling blackouts are costly for the economy and cause significant frustration and hardship for citizens and businesses. He said the government was trying to do everything to make load-shedding a thing of the past.

Ramaphosa’s statement comes after the embattled power utility last week announced there could be as many as 101 days of load-shedding this winter.
